Huh, that is quite odd. Have you set tmux to true colour? If not that may be the issue, though I don't see why it would select those specific colours.

Incase you haven't, here's the configuration to do so. Place the following in your tmux.conf located at ~/.config/tmux/tmux.conf or ~/tmux.conf

set -g default-terminal "screen-256color"

you should have to run tmux source ~/.config/tmux/tmux.conf to get it to reload

You may also have to add the following to your nvim config:
set termguicolors

or set TERM to xterm-256color in your shell (example: export TERM="xterm-256color" for bash)

Though I doubt either are your problem.

Edit: fixed neovim configuration
- Thanks for helping. But No luck with those. Tried them all. vim said there's no option like "term". Other two doesnt work :(
  
  Ah shit, that sucks, sorry to hear.
  
  Sorry on that command if you're using lua to configure the correct setting should be
  
  vim.opt.termguicolors = true
  
  Or in your init.vim set termguicolors should work too. Apologies for messing up that last comment
  
  If you're still up to trying some stuff, last thing I can think of is tmux deciding not to take the setting. Forcing tmux to use true color may help with set -ag terminal-overrides ",$TERM:Tc" or launching with tmux -2 may help, you'll have to source the tmux config again of course. Also confirming that your terminal supports true color
  
  vim or neovim? what terminal emulator are you using? post your nvim init.lua file. try putting both of these in tmux.conf:
  
  set -g default-terminal "xterm-256color"
  
  set-option -ga terminal-overrides ",xterm-256color:Tc"
  
  This is for alacritty terminal emulator + tmux + neovim but may help put you on the right track with whatever te u might be using:
